After breakfast we headed over to Roja. I picked up the bin of grooming tools that everyone donated, for today we are to learn about grooming horses.
My plan is to teach everyone how to use the different curries and brushes and then we'll practice on each other. Then if the clouds will hold their rain in a little longer we'll practice on Hira. Hopefully I'll get to tell you how it goes.
-- Recap of the Day --
In our group conversations this morning the question came up about why bad things happen to people and good people for that matter. What an important question that needs to be answered in the hearts of those who have been so violated.
Lunch was brought to the house and we enjoyed another wonderful meal. I learned that there is technique to eating with your hands. At least if you don't want to be covered to the elbow with your supper by the end of the meal.

WOW!!! I couldn't have planned what happened today in our time learning about grooming horses. Being flexible is the key here. Karishma took great interest in the technique of using the grooming tools. Yesterday she was grooming Hira so hard that it is a wonder he had any hair left in that spot. But today... something clicked. She was so excited that she "groomed" everyone in the room and then supervised everyone else. She made sure that each person present groom every other person present. The clouds let down their load, so we kept practicing on each other.
THANK YOU ALL, who made donations of or toward grooming tools!!!!
Karishma has a new found gentleness! Read more about Karishma's story by clicking here.
I was sorry I didn't get any pictures of us grooming each other, but we were so caught up in Karishma's excitement, that I completely forgot.
